help with compiling m4 - gijoe77 - 09-30-2018
hey, so I'm probably really overlooking something very simple, but I can't figure out how to build m4 due to there not being a configure script. I'm looking at https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/m4.html, I did this command
Code:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/m4this command failed
Code:
git checkout -b branch-1.4 origin/branch-1.4but whatever, I have the m4 dir, but there is no "configure" script in there. there is a "bootstrap" script but it fails with "Illegal option -- -"
I looked at mrthinlysliced didbs github page and it looks like he had a configure script - what step am I missing here? sorry for the newbness...

The tarball at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/ has a configure script. Use that instead of the github repo
